The question arrives almost daily: Will Kobe Bryant play in the Lakers' next game?
There are 13 games left until the April 13 finale, with the Memphis Grizzlies up next Tuesday. Because it's a home game, it's uncertain if Bryant will appear in it.
He has played in 96% of games away from Staples Center since declaring his intent to retire, and only 58% of games at the arena.
The Lakers' next game after Tuesday is at Phoenix on Wednesday.
Lakers Coach Byron Scott typically says it is "50-50" that Bryant plays in a particular game, repeating the phrase Monday when asked about Bryant's availability against Memphis.
